FP200 is a mix between standard cubical crystals and hexagonal crystals. It is not a real modern technology film.I would recommend Xtol/Fomadon Excel W27.

So what dilution/time would you recommend for TMax-400 in HC-110 ?

TMY-2 HC-110 (B). Zorki-6 + Jupiter-12 F/2,8-35mm. Eindhoven P.S.V. Philips stadion. 6:00 minutes at 20C. A pretty straight (linear) developing curve almost iso 400.

Assuming, (B) is half the time of (H) which I have found, you get exactly the same time as I do.

Correct, in respect with some deviation of the type agitation you're doing. I am using a Heiland TAS processor which is very handy with longer developing times like HC-110 (H = 1+63) or R09/Rodinal 1+100.

A minor correction; the Tmax line of black and white films came out in more like 1986-87 not 1982; that was the announcement of the T-grains used in VR1000 that made higher speed film almost tolerable.

Besides, all the developers that the TMax film can be processed in, if you look at the spectral sensitivity curve you will see that blue wavelength sensitivity is low. This give a deeper blue sky, and possibly less dark shadows. So, I don't really have to use a yellow or orange filter.
Comparing the Arista EDU ultra films (Fomapan), the blue spectrum is much more sensitive. So I HAVE to use an orange filter with any blue sky image.

I normally use a dark Yellow filter on FP200 to compensate this.

How about Ilford Delta films and Rodinal developer?

I think a bad combination. I can not recommend it!

I have asked this question because some buddies use T-max films with Rodinal (see posts above) and they are contended with the results. Ilford Delta and Kodak T-max are similar films, so why not give a try this combo?

They are not similar, Kodak and Ilford are using different technology.

Acceptable but at lower ISO rate is TMY-2 and Acros 100 in R09/Rodinal. For Acros 100 expose on ISO 64. I am using it in a 1+50 dilution. For TMY-2 I am not using it because I want to make profit in 35mm of the full ISO 400 speed for this Kodak film.

Delta 100 and Pan F+ in Rodinal is great, as is Acros. Rodinal IMO works great with all T-grain type films.

I've shot TMY-2 at box speed with Rodinal. Didn't notice any real problem. That could be dependent on my metering technique - it's been several years.

When people say such and such film is not good with such and such developer, do they mean the negs do not print well (contrast, grain) with a certain type of enlarger or are we talking about scanning?

I am (Split Grade) printing on fiber or PE/RC via an 6x7cm enlarger system equipped with condensor/diffusor system. New films and developer combo I am measuring in via a Heiland TRD-Z densitometer. Regular Gamma =0,62 - 0,65 for an optimum print G=2 till 2,5.
So indeed I can not comment on the scanning quality for any combination. I am doing a regular straight Epson V500 scan (300dpi) from a 13x18cm or 18x24cm photo. Very rare I am scanning from the negative but with a V500 the quality is not that good.
